The Mock Epic of the Butterfly & the Hurricane

Oh yeah, so I made this GIF from the Moonrise Kingdom trailer, and the movie comes out tomorrow. Between then and now, it’s got 18,000 notes.

Mount Saint Helens, mid-eruption. After several weeks of build-up, a blister like dome which had been building on the mountain’s side gave way during an earthquake shortly after 8:30am on the morning of May 18, 1980. Onlookers and scientists near the mountain’s base had little to no warning of the eruption, which leveled the surrounding forest, and 57 were killed.

Among the dead was photographer Robert Landsburg, who died protecting his camera equipment shortly after taking the series of photos shown above.
